Hi Amos:

Did you save your old bios on a disk? If you did then all you have to do is 
reinstalled it.  If not then you must get the right bios and installed it on a 
Dos startup disk and try to upgrade it. Also check the position of your floppy 
disk cable. When the light stays on this indicates that the cable is backward 
or the floppy is defective. Remember you must start the computer with the DOS 
startup disk.


Good luck

Subject: [TechAssist] Gateway G5 233 wrongly flashed BIOS


I tried updating this AMI OAAES052 BIOS  but this process was not
successful. When I power On the machine it just keeps on giving short beeps
whilst the FDD LED is ON. The interval changes when I put in a diskette.

Does someone know how to recover this flash BIOS.

Thanks
